Fish & Shrimp Festival throughout Sept

9/11/2022

It's hard to believe the Ohio Fish and Shrimp Festival will be celebrating their 20th anniversary. The festival has grown with each passing year. I’m sure this year will be the biggest one yet. Admission is $5.00 for adults and $2.00 children 12 and under.

The format may have changed but the fun will not. With live music and fresh seafood to eat, you will want to check it out each day.

Freshwater Farms of Ohio is the largest indoor fish hatchery in the state of Ohio. Dr. Dave Smith and his team love to have people come to their farm to see what they all do. Dave also plays a vital role within Champaign County as an investor in our community. Make sure you take the time to check out Freshwater Farms of Ohio and the Ohio Fish and Shrimp Festival.
